The #502 also provides direct public transportation to downtown Vancouver via the Skytrain. The #502 drops-off and picks-up students at the Langley Airport every 30 minutes (passing approximately 10 minutes after, and 20 minutes before the hour). It is then a 5 minute walk to Langley Flying School.
